This medication may affect the central nervous system, potentially causing dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and heart-related adverse reactions such as a decrease in heart rate, worsening heart failure, and cardiac arrest, so immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is required upon symptom onset. Additionally, this medication can interact with various drugs, so if you are taking other medications, be sure to inform your doctor or pharmacist, especially when combined with antihypertensives, antidepressants, antiarrhythmics, insulin, or hypoglycemic agents. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid use as it may pose risks to the fetus or newborn, and safety in children and adolescents under 18 has not been established, requiring caution in its use. Elderly patients may experience increased drug concentration due to decreased liver function, so they should start at a low dose and be closely monitored. In cases of overdose, serious symptoms such as decreased blood pressure, reduced heart rate, impaired cardiac function, and difficulty breathing may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought along with appropriate emergency care.
